The Atlanta Braves have been the most dominant offense in baseball this year.
They are an opposing pitcher’s nightmare and can do damage with hitters 1-9.
Atlanta has a record of 57-27 on the year and has a run differential of +141.
One reason they score so many runs is that they hit a ton of home runs.
The Braves are the only team in baseball with three players having 20+ homers.
According to ESPN Stats & Info, the Braves have hit 161 home runs through 84 games this season.

That is the most home runs ever hit through 84 games in MLB history.
It appears there is no way to slow this offense down.
Their first three hitters are Ronald Acuna Jr., Ozzie Albies, and Matt Olson.
Acuna is the favorite for NL MVP while Olson leads the National League in home runs.
The Braves have won 17 of their last 18 games and have opened up a massive lead in the NL East.
According to Baseball Almanac, the 2019 Minnesota Twins have the record for most home runs in a season with 307.
The Braves have played their way into being the NL favorites this year.
After a disappointing postseason last year, the Braves are hoping to return to the World Series.
The Braves are loaded with talent and they should continue to smash home runs in the second half.
It will be fun to watch them chase the record for most home runs in MLB history.
